I'm not arguing against the Mangold version, just for why I would have loved to see Aronofsky's. All I know is what Jackman said recently. That the new script (Mangold's) is 85% the same.

Gotcha so Im assuming you have read the script by Aronfsky. I thought Alexei was the only one. I think I got this now haha. By "disgrace to the genre" you meant it would be a bad move to pass it up cause the script brings something new and groundbreaking we havnt seen or read with the character yet.
